Two Stockton Police officers were assaulted last night and early this morning in separate incidents.

In the first incident, officers responded to the 2200 block of Waterloo Road in the Civic District regarding transient complaints. When officer contacted Avery White, 26, he allegedly shoved and kicked the officer and refused to move out of the roadway before being taken into custody.

In the other incident, which happened early this morning, officers stopped a vehicle on Harrison Street near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and contacted the suspect who was identified as 22-year old Miguel Gomez. The suspect allegedly fought with officers before fleeing and avoiding arrest.
